Alain AYROLES / Juanjo GUARNIDO

Conquering the Indies…

Loveable rouge Don Pablos of Segovia recounts his adventures in America, at a time when it was still known as The Indies. Wearing rags then riches, being adored then despised, his trials take him from lowly places to high palaces, from the peaks of Cordillera and the meanders of the Amazon to the mythical city of Eldorado!
